After meeting with anesthesiologist, she felt it isn't wise to do any surgery until he isn't getting food stuck in nissen anymore. She said this was her opinion, (been doing it for 30 years) and that other Drs may say she is an "idiot" but after her sharing the risks, I canceled the surgery. I'm not risking aspiration for testicles at this time.

Now we wait for busy Dr Ks office to call. I am trying to schedule another stretching. I am focusing on this problem only. After this is all finished (prayerfully in the near future?) I will try to get his trach hole closed and the testes surgery all at once. At least that is my plan....

Btw: My lil rock star is potty trained in BOTH areas now. He tells me every time and is finally not "cared" of poo.

About Me

Camden James joined our family on January 22, 2009, weighing approx 8-9 pounds and measuring around 22 inches with an UNKNOWN congenital diaphragmatic hernia. He joins his father, Marcus and I and three brothers and a sister.He has a trach and has been off ventilator since winter of 09. He gets all nutrition from a gtube.Life is not what it was, but we are adjusting to our new normal and trusting God as He continues to guide.... *Camden had his first "reherniation" diaphragm repair on Oct 30 2009, patched with gortex.* Some colon had made its way in chest cavity, behind his heart.*He was hospitalized due to his first sickness resulting from a cold(we think) for the first time on Jan 6 2010, at almost one year old.*REASONS FOR BLOGGING? Obviously to keep close friends and family updated but more importantly to help others with special needs children. Other blogs encourage me, give tips, and help me realize that I am not alone on this journey.I hope to do the same for them.*Camden was decannulated on June 2, 2010!!!*UPDATE for 2011 He finally took interest in eating, but it isnt possible due to his nissen surgery being too tight. New hurdle to overcome..
